been lying in bed for the latest 48 hours, and I just woke up finally feeling alive again. it’s such a weird thing not to leave your room for two days and then suddenly walk out through the door. I will appreciate this day and this upcoming morning coffee and the shift I have at work so bad. thought that I would also show you my new red t-shirt that I found at the boy section at Vinnies the other day. it costed 1 dollar and it made my day

It’s taken a while for me to get hold of the pictures from mountain sound, that I took with jacobs camera, and there’s only a few of themthis one I took of Lachlan just when we got up in the morning. it was raining and they were about to play their first gig at a festival everLakrisen went for a walkI really like this portrait of him Ida and I brought breakfast with us that we prepared and finished off with bubblegumhot stuffme ida sean and jacob sat down at camp waiting for the festival to open at 12 sean was getting a cold and we were all pretty tired from the earlier night so we ended up sitting there for another hour or sojacobonce we got in, brennans new band were playing and people were jumping around me tooafter a night of pita bread, silent discos, rock music and terrible sleep, sean drove us back to real life

I got to borrow a lens from a friend the other day for 24 hours, and unfortunately I got sick and didn’t get to use it as much as I wanted to, but I am now in love with tis Canon lens 50mm 1.2f, and I don’t even have a canon. anyway, anyone in the world with a canon and 2000 dollars to spare should invest in one. here are some pictures we managed to take poff

halo. I got the flue this thursday, and on friday ida and I decided to have a house warming party.It was the worst and the best idea of the century it all started in our room. I cut idas hair so she looked like cleopathra and then the guests arrivedbrennan arrived and brought some piesthen we played guitar and did a couple of danceswe were all sparklingliam and nick were in the kitchen mixing some redcup drinkslak and bel was there it was so fun to finally be able to show everyone the apartment all at once leisha rocked up rather late and missed the first round of snapsbut ida gave her another one there was even a Dj set because our host, chuck, mixes his own musicjake and coxi were matching on the balconyand some people stole my favorite chair my girl was on the table and she might move in here as well soon. we just need to kick out someone firstgeorgia and idachuckstern was playing swinghouseand liam and connors got blinded chelsea after riding my pink bike in de apartmentcarmzand us think liam wanted to joinand sean so we took a couple more. think we all looked pretty damn goodjoey was rockin the livingroomwhile these two had a filosofical and weird discussion about desire. I dunno why I got a gift from nick nesbitt that was a batch saying #CLOSE TO CHUCK <3gibbo came all the way back from sydneyme and ida are going to melbourne soon to visit him. once we get the money. there was no theme at the party, but somehow everybody looked like they were from an 80s disco or somethingand rees had a jabby shirt. later on, him and li wrote a song in our roomgeorgia, jess and alice was having wine in the kitchen what happened later on is uncertain. sean and chels looks like twins in this onewe woke up around 11. there was people on the floor and the house looked like thismy bike had somehow ended up on the balcony and all the food was gone, except for some vanilla ice cream that ida and I had for brekkisam, alice and carmen were the last ones to leave. my flue came back and I was working at 3 in the afternoon which was painful but very much worth it.

thanks to all my friends who came and made the night all rainbow and sparkly

one week has passed since we moved into the apartmentwe were at a jazz place just before we moved in there the jazz show was at Grand Hotel in the underground parts I was wearing New Balanceonce we moved in we dressed the wall in pictures and texts and play cardsme and sam spent the first day at the balcony, playing the gitarr and having sushi.on thursday I chased polaroid pictures. found some from when we went camping a couple of months agoI found an old necklace that I’ve been looking for foreverand then we packed our bags and went to the Mountainzspent the day with these two and with these. white walkers rocked the world in the afternoonwe slept in tents and there was a stormthe week finished off with yesterday night. once we got home from the festival we slept for some hours and then we went for some staff cocktails @ the Secret bar. it’s on Hunter street super close to where we live and there is a little message on the door telling you to text a specific number and once you do a person comes out and lets you in. sneaky sneak.

we walked home and watched hunger games and then we slept the rest of the night away

was wearing this one for the weekend. Also found at Red Cross where I’m volunteering at the moment. It has several functions. For example you can put it up on the wall and look at it when you’re not wearing it.

sean picked up me ida and jacob this friday to go to sydney and Mountain Sounds Festivalwe filled big red with camping stuff and some chipsand left romeo in Newcastleme and lola was in front listening to the Kinkswhile jacob took some pictures in the back about three hours later we arrived in sydneywe got ready with purple bandanas we found lachlan and liamLak was there toothey were getting ready for the gig they were about to play @ Captain Cook Hotel and ida and I went looking for vego burgersthen I ran into Coxi and he stole my glassessome time pretty late after meeting up with some other friends, we watched the gig at Captain Cook Pubit looked like thisnick had a beer on the flooronce they were done, we all sticked around and watched some other gigs before leaving for Mountain Sounds festival sometime around twelve o clockI accidentally forgot the camera in seans car so I didn’t have it during the entire festival, but luckily jacob brought his so there will be some photos from the latest 24 hours coming up. anyway, the festival was amazing and filled with glitter and rainbows and weird DJs and rock’n roll people. now I’m pretty much exhausted and Ida and I have spent the day in the apartment, making food and reading blogs

it’s time for another festival. somewhere between sydney and newcastle there will be music in the mountains all day tomorrow. the White Walkers, which is coxi connors lachlan and limas band, are playing both in sydney tonight and at the festival tomorrow. me and ida are joining the little tour together with some other friends in a big red car filled with tents and sandwiches. the tickets to the festival and the camping are almost sold out so there will be thousands of people there which is much more than I expected. if you feel like joining and you live somewhere close to newcastle or sydney, read about the upcoming bands and buy dem tickets here.

I will make coffee and sleep some more now to collect the energy for this weekend. I got a feeling it might get intense
